caravan stuck
« on: May 27, 2018, 08:25:32 am »

So the long awaited caravan from the mountain home arrives, trade agreements get made, two wagons arrive at the depot but the third stops short of the depot and doesnt move any further.

They are inside my walls but above ground and it is a bit narrow having only a 4 tiles wide path. Ground is even, part of the wagon is on a paved road (and one toth).

Anyone an idea what can be done do get them moving again?

Unfortunately it's not a bug that can be fixed easily. It's usually triggered when a merchant gets scared by seeing corpses, scuttles their wagon and runs away--the others usually follow, but sometimes they just freeze. Deconstructing your depot will cause them to leave, but I don't know of a way to get them to trade with you.

The consolation prize is whatever the wagon or pack beast was carrying when the merchant spooked gets dropped, so you get a grab bag of random foods and goods.
